About Jim and Laura Faria

We have been happily married for 27 years and have two awesome (almost grown) children. We share a love of nature and the outdoors, especially life at the lake.

Jim and Laura Faria purchased this House in 2016

Why Jim and Laura Faria chose Morganton

We first discovered the Lake James area in 2005 and it was love at first sight, from the incredible vistas of Linville gorge, to the crystal clear mountain water that fills the lake and flows down the Catawba River, to the miles of shoreline to explore, all just minutes from the front door. We quickly developed a passion for introducing friends to the mountain to lake experience. We think this area is the best kept secret in North Carolina. Two years ago we had the opportunity to acquire this beautiful piece of land just one mile from the lake with the plan to expand our ability to offer people the extraordinary opportunity to enjoy a relaxing and stress reducing Mountain to Lake Retreat. We have been able to do this at extremely affordable rates compared to more heavily marketed destinations with higher name recognition

What makes this House unique

Mountain Views off the front porch make the perfect back drop for morning coffee or a late afternoon cocktail.
**New FIRE PIT**
Walking trails to explore and get your heart pumping.
Wooded grove adjacent to open field - watch the wild turkeys walk out of the woods each morning.
Boat/jetski parking, local marina/boat ramp access nearby
Lake James
Picnic down at the fishing pond protected from sun and rain under the covered shelter.
Bird watching paradise.

The house was comfortable with plenty of space for our group of eight close friends. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for cooking. All areas were clean and well maintained.

What a gorgeous spot to unwind and unplug. This was our first trip to the Morganton area, and won't be our last. Glad we discovered this gem of a property on our first trip. The home comfortably held and slept 6 of us. Offered peace and quiet for the adults, and outdoor activities to entertain three 11-year-old boys who thought they wouldn't be able to live without their Xbox for a week. Highly recommend this home.

We had, what should have been a work trip, turn into a vacation each evening upon arriving at this beautiful property. Nature lovers paradise, with apple and fig tree's, incredible hydragea's and huge catfish in the pond! If we ever find ourselves in the area again we are sure to stay here! The owners responded immediately to any questions and were attentive to every detail - right down to beautiful flower arrangements left on each table. It was hard to leave.

A quiet, peaceful place to relax and sightsee in the Morganton/Linville gorge area. House was very clean, beds were comfy and the grill worked. The driveway is a little steep, but you are in the NC mountains. So enjoyed the birds and wildlife in this tucked away property. Great get away selection!
